Mission Statement
As the oldest Catholic parish in North Carolina, under the patronage of Saint Patrick, we are a diverse and evolving community who seeks to know God through the Word, the Eucharist and the Sacraments. We gather a grateful people committed to a life of stewardship. Striving to fulfill our baptismal promises, we practice a life of prayer, minister to the poor, and remain open to God’s call to change.
The Saint Patrick Catholic faith community enters the 21st century celebrating in its fifth and newly dedicated Church. The community continues to stress the Catholic teachings first put forth by its patron Saint Patrick that all human beings are born with dignity and must be respected, no matter what their condition in life. Similarly, all people must be treated equally under the law, with a special preference to protect those who have been marginalized or ostracized. These faith teachings and principles have guided Saint Patrick Catholic Church in Fayetteville, NC in the 18th, 19th, 20th, and into the 21st. century. Reflective of the community it serves, Saint Patrick Catholic Church is a story of American immigrants from the Caribbean, Europe, Africa, Middle East, Asia, Central and South America. All have renewed the ecumenical, evangelical, and faith traditions that have come to be central to what has and still does make the Saint Patrick community unique among Catholics in North Carolina.
